THIS IS CONFUSING.

I returned the book because it is so littered with caveats, exceptions and intricate variations that it's impossible to draw meaningful themes. Moreover, the jargon makes it very difficult to follow (because the jargon, itself, is vague and because the context in which it is used is difficult). For example, there are passages which advise you to play certain ways if the table is loose, but the players are aggressive, but the table is tough and the caller is tight. HUH???

I'm off to the bookstore to get another book!
